SCHMIDT scales are manu-factured according to the moststringent quality requirements.Printed scales are not used. Instead, each scale is indivi- dually marked for the instru- ment involved. This en- sures highest quality. Our special procedure makes it possible to provide tension meters fi ne tuned to a specifi c tension range, or cali- brated to custom supplied material, or units of measure such as g or kg.

General Information on SCHMIDT Tension Meters

✚ The width of the measuring head varies with the modeldesign and the tension range. Dimension »X« defi nes the mini-mum access space required along the material path. It isdetermined by the width of the fi lament guide, the distancebetween the two outer guide rollers, or the outside dimensionsof the front plate, whichever is the largest.

Operating elements DX2:

✚ All SCHMIDT tension metersfeature the 3-roller measuringsystem. The center measuring rolleris defl ected by the tension of themeasured material. This measuringprinciple assures highest accuracyand repeatability.✚ All rollers are equipped withprecision ball bearings.

Material thickness compensator:

✚ SCHMIDT hand-held tension metersare equipped, if necessary, witha material thickness compensator.This exclusive feature is only found onSCHMIDT tension meters and mini-mizes any error caused by changingmaterial diameters.

SCHMIDT calibration:

✚ To ensure highest precision, eachtension meter is individually calibratedaccording to the SCHMIDT factoryprocedure. For calibration a knownweight is suspended from the standardcalibration material, vertically, asshown in the fi gure.This method is accepted – worldwide –as the industry standard.
